324 Using the Disturbance Model

<p>Brian and Chad talk about the Disturbance Model that speaks of using power to influence a given cause.  When a leader uses power to influence their cause, resistance will be a by-product.  It is easy to demonize the resistance, but a good leader will instead learn from the resistance.</p> <p>Here are three ways the leader can benefit from the resistance:</p> <ol> <li>You are probably not as clear and convicted about your cause as you think you are.</li> <li>You are not comfortable with power, being in charge, or making waves.</li> <li>If you are experiencing mostly resistance for a long period of time, you are probably not good at this or have a weak cause.</li> </ol> <p>Referenced in this podcast:  </p> <p><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Playing-God-Andy-Crouch/dp/083084404X/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2L7TGHX8CW51W&keywords=Andy+Crouch&qid=1661889500&sprefix=andy+crouch%2Caps%2C69&sr=8-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Playing God:  Redeeming the Gift of Power</em></a> by Andy Crouch</p> <p> </p>
